So you think it's OK to make a rule saying that a 45 year old man cannot read a book in a tent without a buddy nearby. That's precious.

I'm still voting mostly democratic. I'm just feed up with wasting my time with most of this bunch of dems. Harry Reid sounds like a bit character on SNL. I like Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer. You'll like some of this which has been sent out to a few Senators. "Too bad Democratic Senators haven't got the courage to force the republicans to really filibuster. The republicans are eating your lunch, stealing your sneakers and stuffing you in lockers every single day. Who wants to be associated with a bunch of weak-kneed wimps like the current crop of democratic Senators? I'm now completely convinced most democratic Senators do NOT want to get this bill passed (Wall Street reform). What we really need is some sort of revolution. Both democrats and republicans are owned by multinational corporations."
